How to Harmonize a Melody: "Georgia on my Mind" (G. Perin) -V

Hi vibes friends,
In this lesson I'm going to show you an easy and effective method to harmonize the melody of "Georgia on my Mind".
Make sure to download the pdf before watching the video.

Your homework is to use the same method to harmonize the B section of the standard (there's is a free staff for you to complete in the worksheet)

" Woodwork" (4-mallet balafon w/ cajon and stick pattern)

I recorded a 4-mallet balafon improvisation that managed to keep the time and rhythm cycle clear enough for me to layer grooves on Cajon and stick. My goal in this samba-like sculpture was to surrender all tension and rhythm gravity, to get into a perpetual flow with lots of energy using the entire range of the instrument.

"Woodwork" is the opening track to my 2006 CD "The Turning":
